The website shows like the 3rd panel goes up to the back of the cab. I wonder if that’s the case with this one as well. It’d be cool if it does.
They should show more photos.

wont work. The JT tailgate is only 49" wide, that slider was done on a box that's the same width as the tailgate. =(
anything custom could be built to fit. why couldn't you just frame in the side to tailgate width and have the slider start there?

you could, but then you'ld have this frame sticking out 4" on each side, with only a 49" slider.......

you're right though, anything is possible =p

I like the ford ranger style much better. its a rollup so it does not take up much room. The 3 panel ones are bulky and a pain in the ass to store in the bed

build it to use that area as a storage box. At 49" its still plywood rated. If you want the full bed width build the top tier to sit on the bed rails then you have full width.

This is the style I would want for a bed cover.
